Next time can we see the <a href="http://www.scottishhills.com/html/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=12306" rel="nofollow">Memorial Cairn to James Henry 1891</a> pictured three quarters of the way down on this webpage.<br /><br />Thanks Tammie, it's a fact that we sometimes miss a historical treasure and have to look for it the next time.<br /><br />Apparently on moors as bleak as this Sandy, there's not a lot of growth other than the heather, and aircraft metal being so light it gets carried up on the growth, I'm reliably informed. Galloway has certainly seen quite a few air crashes. <a href="http://www.walkscotland.plus.com/Galloway/pages/ngairycrsh/02.htm" rel="nofollow">Aircraft crash sites on SW Scotland hills</a><br /><br />Thanks Michael, we're getting plenty of morning frost now. Other places have had snow already. No doubt Alberta will soon be a winter wonderland. The snowmobiles up in Swan Hills will be getting checked out and polished up in readiness.The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-81016676922344627942012-11-05T15:14:17.378+00:002012-11-05T15:14:17.378+00:00Jim it sure looks like there is a chill in the air...Jim it sure looks like there is a chill in the air, I'm sure the wind does not help for warmth!
